[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even know what FOIA is.  I also didn't know attorney advisors did document review.  I'm an attorney advisor, and the work I do is important to many individuals.  I thought the person was dissing attorney advisors by likening their workload to document review.[/quote]

FOIA = Freedom of Information Act[/quote]
Okay, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request doesn't seem like it would be anything like a document review project.  I've done document review, and it's just literally sitting at a computer all day clicking through documents.  Sometimes you can't listen to music.  Sometimes you have to go talk to the paralegals who are your supervisors and request a new batch of documents.  You get all the people sitting around you who regret going to law school.  If someone catches you talking too much to the people around you, you're all given a new seating chart and put next to people your supervisors do not believe you will talk to.

I am an attorney advisor, and I write most of the day.  Sure, I "review" documents, but that's so I know what to write about.  I am currently on detail right now.  On detail, I do not write, and I absolutely love what I am doing.  I'm on the government side of individual cases where I help citizens with the stuff I am used to writing about.  Basically, I help them prepare their cases and move them forward.  Nothing about my job seems like document review, so I was confused as to why someone would describe it as document review.[/quote]

Interesting. You seem to have very little understanding of either FOIA or that any litigation requires all levels of attorney to do some degree of doc review. [/quote]
